Bumping up a v old post rather than creating my own! Do you set your activity level on the polar? I don't remember doing this with mine

Female, 26 5'2 SW: 148 CW: 120 GW: 119 lol

From day 9 it should be 3 sets of 10 reps, you have only put 1??

Hmmm around 23 weeks!! As soon as I had my daughter, with a lot of off days of course. What sorts if foods are best to increase kcals with? I know it's a silly q but that's where I struggle. Without eating ice cream, cakes ect ha I don't know what else to eat.

I log everything, good and bad. Embarrassing when I have an off day but it has to be done to make me realise!!

I was loosing around 1lb per week if not maintaining at 1200kcals. I need to did the right kcals I think which is why I was trying to workout my tdee. I don't want to get any slimmer, it's just fat loss around the tummy to neaten it up abit

I am LOVING the idea of eating more :-))))

Does anyone know how to find out my tdee? I use a fitbit!

I am increasing them by 100kcals weekly

Haha not sure iv cut the hubby, he cooks all my meals :-))))

Around waist and hips. Ok, time to chill and get on with it!! New changes always cause some confusion. Ile keep at it, I can cope with a few extra inches for now. Was just worried I was doing something really wrong which was going to make me keep gaining

I started almost 2 weeks ago but didn't start stronglifts until mon. I started gaining as soon as I started listing, could it be water?iv been measuring not weighing, have gained inches

I have changed my pic to what I am currently

I am starting this tomorrow :-)

Bumped wrong post. Sorry hun I'm no expert so can't give much advice but to get a flat tummy myself i increased protein, decreased carbs and increased good fats. I also did high intensity training 5x per week which really helped. Sorry I can't be of much help, hope you get some answers

Thank you. I have downloaded it, I will research how to do the lifts correctly then hopefully be able to start mon

I have done a lot of research, my reason for posting on here is because I am unsure of what is the best programmes to go by. Research is key to a good overall knowledge I know but how can I be certain I am reading the best information?

Meeeeee. 26 from Gloucestershire, feel free to add

At the moment I work out 5x per week doing mostly hiit training and some weights. Is there so specific plan then? Should I just do each one before cardio? So day 1: chest and tri (any machinery) then 20-30 min cardio?

Bump

I'm 5'2, started at 148lbs and am currently at 122lbs struggling to get these last few off!

Another question........artificial sweeteners...good or bad? While cutting isn't it best to keep insulin levels low? Iv been trying to research the effect of sweetners too but can't get a definitive answer

Thank you everyone for all your advice. I will look up 5x5 strong lifts, I am completely new to lifting so would even know where to start!

Thank you, most of my sugar comes from fruit and veg as when I snack on almonds/walnuts I don't find them as fulfilling as fruit. I also have veg every evening with my meal. Are these sugars no good?

Thank you, I don't workout for an longer than 40 mins. I also enjoy running which is why I haven't reduced this. Would you suggest lifting post cardio? 19% is a general target, I may get to 20 and be happy with how I look. Thanks for the advice Also I do consume at least 100g of protein daily so that's not a problem. My…

Thank you, I am trying im just finding it really hard as most my sugars come from fruit and veg. I have veg every evening with my meal and only have carbs (rice, pasta) twice a week. The rest of my carbs just come from all my other foods but I don't go over unless I'm on one of the two days I have rice or pasta. I have at…

I think the advice was to increase good fats Hun and protein and decrease carbs as much as pos.

I am going through exactly the same, it is so frustrating. I don't exercise as much as you I don't think but I am quite active. If anyone would also mind taking a look at my diary and giving some advice I would really appreciate it. Saves me putting a thread out
